[Insight-developers] Fwd: Change in ITK[master]: COMP: root of source and binary dir of ITK should not be too...

[David Cole]

This gerrit change proposes to limit the path length of both the source and
binary trees on Windows builds of ITK. Before we accept this change, is
there anybody who has a reason why this would be a problem for them?

I think it's a reasonable compromise given the length of the depth of the
tree, and the problems that ensue. (When using certain versions of CMake and
certain versions of Visual Studio, relative path names combined with the
absolute path of the build tree, combine to exceed the 250-something
character file name limit in some of the underlying Windows tools used...)

Raise objections now, if any, or forever hold your peace. :-)


Thanks,
David C.
